Regarding Liu Bei's previous unwillingness to see him, Sun Jian seriously considered it and felt that there was still a problem.
Sun Jian is a person who is good at discovering problems. Of course, like most people, he did not find the cause in himself. Instead, he found the cause in Zhou Shen with his eye that was good at discovering problems.
He felt that Liu Bei might not continue to approach him because of Zhou Shen's problems, because he was Zhou Shen's subordinate before, and contacting him in private might cause displeasure around him.
After figuring out this link, Sun Jian was relieved.
Because it doesn't matter now, Zhou Shen didn't help him find a position at all, and didn't even report his merits to him, so why should he follow him? Compared to Liu Bei's care for his subordinates, Zhou Shen is simply a scumbag!
So Sun Jian thought that he was no longer Zhou Shen's subordinate. If Liu Bei didn't approach him because he was worried about Zhou Shen, then there was no need. Zhou Shen wouldn't think anything of it.
So this time, Sun Jian felt that he should also be recruited by Liu Bei to go to Liangzhou together.
Because he was confident in this aspect, Sun Jian also made some considerations and weighed the pros and cons of going to Liangzhou and staying in Luoyang to try his luck.
Sun Jian discussed this matter with Han Dang, Cheng Pu and other slightly educated subordinates to see whether it would be more advantageous to go to Liangzhou or stay in Luoyang.
A group of people discussed and discussed, and felt that although they would have a position if they stayed in Luoyang, it would be difficult to get promoted because of the crucial Liu Bei's departure.
It is still necessary to follow Liu Bei's footsteps. Liu Bei has been promoted step by step and has a holy family. Although he is not in Luoyang, promotion should not be a problem.
And considering how much Liu Bei attaches importance to his subordinates, he can get some benefits no matter what, right?
Sun Jian agreed with this view of imprisonment, but he was obviously very concerned about promotion.
"In terms of promotion, how can Liangzhou be compared with Luoyang? A prefect in Liangzhou is not as good as a Yilang in Luoyang. I originally thought Liu Xuande would be promoted in Luoyang, but who would have thought that he would actually go to Liangzhou? But what should we do?”
Cheng Pu didn't seem to have any opinion on this matter. His mind didn't seem to be here, so he didn't say anything.
Han Dang was a little concerned and was willing to consider for Sun Jian, so he shook his head and persuaded Sun Jian.
"Liu Xuande has a holy family, and he will become a great person sooner or later. If you follow him, don't worry about your future. If you stay in Luoyang, you will certainly have a military position, but Duke Zhu is not in Luoyang, and there is no one to look after him. How can you be promoted? Luoyang The high-ranking officials in Yang look down on the people from the border areas, and it’s really hard to do without anyone to give them any advice."
Sun Jian thought about it and thought that although Liangzhou was remote, it would not be difficult for him to be promoted with Liu Bei's care. But as a person from the southeast, would he be able to adapt to the northwest?
After much consideration, Sun Jian decided to go to Liangzhou.
Liu Bei still has a future. If there is no future, why are so many people willing to help him?
Although Liangzhou is not a good place, as long as he can make contributions, even if he leaves Liu Bei and returns to Luoyang in the future, he will have his own foundation.
In this way, his days of charging into battle for Liu Bei were not in vain.
After making up his mind, he began to wait for Liu Bei to send someone to invite him, but after waiting and waiting, Liu Bei began to recruit troops openly, but he had not yet come to him.
Sun Jian felt something was wrong, so he sent someone out to inquire about the news. He learned that Liu Bei had gone to find many people some time ago, and many people had taken the initiative to go to Liu Bei. Liu Bei had recruited a lot of talents, but now it seems that he no longer goes out to recruit talents. , but focused on recruiting troops.
Hearing this, Sun Jian was slightly surprised and came to Han Dang for discussion.
"I heard that Liu Xuande no longer goes out to recruit talents and concentrates on recruiting soldiers. Why doesn't he come to me?"
Han Dang looked unhappy.
"You'd better go to the military camp to find Liu Xuande. I heard that there are really many people who want to follow him. I guess he didn't think of me for a while, and what happened before... maybe Liu Xuande didn't care at all. "
Sun Jian was not very happy.
"When I was in Liangzhou, I went to see him, but he never said that, and his attitude towards me was the same as before. How could this be?
Han Dang had no choice but to persuade Sun Jian again.
"Liu Xuande is not what he used to be. You'd better go see him and explain the matter clearly. Otherwise, when Duke Zhu comes back, I won't know how to blame you!"
Sun Jian thought for a while, nodded helplessly, and quickly got up and went to the military camp to find Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei learned that Sun Jian asked for a meeting, he rolled his eyes and wondered why this guy was so shameless.
I don’t even come to you anymore, you should know what that means, right?
Is it because my attitude is too kind that you can't understand the reality?
Thinking of Zhu Ren, Liu Bei didn't want to speak too clearly to Sun Jian and saved him some face. But did Sun Jian not realize that he had offended someone at all?
Apart from anything else, at a time when the modern-day ancient literature dispute has moved away from the peak of the struggle, Jiangdong's influence is no longer that important to the ancient literature school. If he offends people casually, he will really not be able to survive.
Shaking his head, Liu Bei took some time to see Sun Jian.
After meeting Liu Bei, Sun Jian went straight to the point.
"Junhou, I heard that you will go to Liangzhou to serve as the shepherd of Liangzhou. Although Jian is not talented, he still has the heart to help you and is willing to fight for you. I wonder why you don't come to me?"
If he hadn't been facing Sun Jian, Liu Bei would have rolled his eyes.
It is wrong to say that you have no emotional intelligence, and it is even more wrong to say that you have high emotional intelligence.
Can you have a clearer understanding of yourself?
People who are willing to fight for me can line up from outside Liu Hong's house to Yingchuan. Am I missing one? Who are you? Ultraman?
So Liu Bei thought about his words.
"Wentai, it's not that I haven't considered you, but I consider that you are from Yangzhou and grew up in the southeast. You may not be so accustomed to the northwest climate. I am worried that you will not be accustomed to the climate there, so I still plan to recruit mainly Northerners go to Liangzhou."
After hearing this, Sun Jian just laughed.
"The Lord is overly worried. Jian followed the Lord to fight in Liangzhou before and did not feel any discomfort. The Lord loves and cares for the Lord, and Jian accepts it with his heart, but Jian is more willing to fight on the battlefield and achieve meritorious deeds!"
Liu Bei licked his slightly chapped lips, picked up a glass of water from the table and took a sip to moisten his throat.
"Wentai, as for you, you have a military post in Luoyang now. It's not appropriate to leave rashly. I'm afraid the general will be dissatisfied. After thinking about it, it's better not to embarrass you. You can stay here. There will definitely be better opportunities waiting for you in Luoyang.
Look at how unstable the world is now. Who knows what will happen in Jiangdong? I heard that many Taiping Dao thieves fled to Jiangdong before. Maybe they are planning some uprising. You stay in Luo Yang, there will be plenty of opportunities when the time comes! Blade
Sun Jian looked surprised.
"Taiping Dao thieves? Going to Jiangdong? When did it happen? Why didn't Jian know?"
Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?
Liu Bei couldn't bear it anymore and was about to have a showdown with Sun Jian, but Guan Yu entered the military tent at this time.
"Brother, I brought you the list of Hedong County soldiers that you asked me to compile. Now... hmm? Sun Wentai?"
Guan Yu saw Sun Jian at a glance, and his expression suddenly turned cold. He was about to scold Sun Jian, but Liu Bei quickly came up to him.
"Yun Chang, you came just in time. I still have something to tell you. Come on, come on, I'll tell you about the recruitment of troops in Hedong County. There are still some things to do..."
Liu Bei stepped forward and took Guan Yu's hand, pulling him out of the military tent. When he opened the curtain, he turned back to say hello to Sun Jian.
"Wen Tai, I still have things to do. I'll be here today. You can go back and contact me more when you have time."
After saying that, Liu Bei turned around and left.
